Why not write for a school paper?

A lot of pipz say that my posts are good, so good that they can be put up and published. It's a la Bob Ong daw. daw ha. So I'll list a couple of reasons why I can't be a writer or in my case, a writer for a school publication.

1. I have no writing experience/training ever since I graduated from grade school. My position in our Grade School Publication is simply a Copy Reader/editor.

2. As a result of number 1, I don't have any professional or extensive know-how on how to write engrossing or at least proper articles. As you all know, my structures come in 3-4 to even 5 paragraphs of pure yapping.

3. I have a very crappy handwriting. Kinda like tying a ballpoint to a chicken's leg and have that chicken walk around a piece of paper. Got the picture? Alright. As the saying goes, penmanship reflects character and so it made the stereotype that people with trashy penmanship like me are also trashy writers.

4. I don't have a passion to inform or for news. News from writers are basically a relay of information. The more accurate or fresh it is, the better. What does that mean? THERE IS NO ART TO IT. No science. Stuff that idiots with dictionaries can make. Works without art are basically meaningless endeavors for me (although quite essential really).

5. Our school publication moderator in grade school was a writer for the Local newspaper and the writer of a tourism article for the city that was posted in the Manila Bulletin. Our present School Publication Moderator is a... well... English Teacher. With "Experience" and "Expertise" directly derived from.... books and the internet. So... English Teacher plus crap experience equals... a very cluttered workspace and crap workflow. So working for our Publication will be like receiving warnings like "Beware of Dog" then you decide to walk right in and get mauled.

6. My choice of words are questionable. During write-ups I write stuff like "crap" then slash it out and come up with a better synonym or something like a euphemism. so i write instead... garbage. Bottomline is, I have a slight tendency for mundane words.

7. I am not versatile. I'm only stuck with copy editing and writing editorials. Stuff like news and high school-themed crap never were, aren't and never will be my thing.

There it is... A testament to my incapability for formal write-ups and a surefire evidence that blogging isn't my preference, it's simply my only medium for literary art and a stress-relief method.
